West Lake Hills City Council approved a building permit and site plan April 27 for the new Eanes ISD district operations building on what is known as the district’s Shriner Tract, adjacent to Westlake High School at 4300 Westbank Drive, West Lake Hills.

The 14,000-square-foot building will house the district’s maintenance and operations, technology, facility rentals, and safety and risk-management departments, according to the EISD 2015 bond website.

The $265,115 cost will be covered by the 2015 bond, the website said.

Don Sansom, an engineer with the project’s designer, said the entire project would take 12 to 14 months to build after all permits have been obtained.
